Pymp

Occupying the top floor of a magnificent Edwardian townhouse, boasting a beautiful balcony with enchanting views across to the headland at Tintagel, this stylish first-floor apartment offers the perfect setting for a peaceful get-together with family and friends. This scenic spot between Port Isaac and Port Gaverne is the perfect base for a Cornish escape. Venture into Port Isaac, less than a mile away, to peruse the local shops, watch the fishermen bringing in the catch of the day and spot locations made famous in Doc Martin. The small hamlet of Port Gaverne (0.5 miles) offers wonderful views out to sea, as well as a dog-friendly beach and the opportunity to spot dolphins and seals from the headland. Keen walkers can join the South West Coast Path on the doorstep, to be rewarded with sweeping coastal walks that weave through hidden bays and pretty villages.

Up a flight of stairs, through the front door, and up another two flights of stairs, you’re welcomed into the light and bright entrance hallway. Your lovely surroundings never feel far in the spacious, sophisticated open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which features two sets of French doors which frame uninterrupted sea views and lead out onto two beautiful balconies. If you can tear yourself away from the views, you’ll discover plenty of homely touches across this social hub, as well as original features, including a sloping ceiling and exposed beams, that add warmth and character. Leading off the sleek, contemporary kitchen, you’ll find a handy utility room. Each boasting a charming sloping ceiling, soothing neutral hues, and a Smart TV, perfect for lazy morning lie-ins, the two en-suite super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms and twin zip-and-link bedroom provide peaceful havens to retire to. Each bedroom also offers flexible sleeping arrangements, with the two super-king-size zip-and-link beds being able to be converted into twins, and the twin zip-and-link bed can be converted into a king-size. A stylish family bathroom completes this cosy bolthole.

Soak up your salty sea air by dining alfresco on either of the wonderful, seaward-facing balconies accessed via the open-plan living space; magical sunrises and melting sunsets are guaranteed. The sheltered patio to the back of the building offers the perfect peaceful spot to sit back and relax on the quaint wooden bench. A charming beach hut can be found up the path at the side of the building and provides safe storage for your boards and wetsuits. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for one car.
